yarn Harlot Represents the 'Burgh

AND THERE SHE IS!

Really and truly Stephanie is a wonderful speaker--witty, articulate, and uplifting. She validates
this passion and commaraderie we have within the knitting community. In fact she helps us realize that there IS A KNITTING COMMUNITY! She represents us all as she gives voice to what we do and how we feel and she is a wonderful center for us all. She shows us what we already know, but haven't articulated to ourselves--that there is an incredible power of good here that we are channeling in the cosmic battle between good and evil. We knit to clothe the world, we raise funds to promote peace, fight disease, and all manner of good causes. We are knitters. Hear us roar.
